Does anyone know about axis-symmetric topology optimization?

AI Thread Summary
ABAQUS lacks a specific axis-symmetric restriction, although it can handle 2D axis symmetric models in the PART section. The discussion centers on the potential for optimizing a full 3D element model using axis symmetry, particularly when loads and boundary conditions are applied to a specific zone. Participants inquire about available software or methodologies that could facilitate this optimization. CAD is suggested as a tool for part creation, with Polyworks mentioned as a popular software for measuring produced parts. The conversation highlights the need for effective solutions in axis-symmetric topology optimization.

ABAQUS provides geometric restrictions such as a planer, rotational, and other symmetric,
but there is no axis symmetric restriction.
I know that the 2D axis symmetric element model could be possible to make in PART section.
But I want to know that a full 3D element model could be optimized by axis symmetric, because the load and boundary condition is applied in a specific zone like the figure below. (If the load is applied 2D model, it will apply to all elements of the same orbit location.
Is there a software or methodology that this can be implemented?

I assume you are using CAD to make the part. I have sold machines to MEASURE parts produced for size, shape and surface texture parameters. A popular software used with a manual coordinate measurement ARM is Polyworks. After you paint the part with a laser, various parameters may be scrutinized. Flatness squareness size out-of - roundness, diameter, concentricity etc. There are many softwares available for this.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
